Research Opportunities at Bard

The Bard Psychology Program is committed to providing a broad-based Liberal Arts Degree in Psychology. An important component of our degree is undergraduate research. We provide opportunities for our students to conduct and publicly present Psychological research.

Bard Psychology students have presented their work at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Society, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, and the Eastern Psychological Association. We have also presented work at the Hudson Valley Undergraduate Psychology Conference.

There are several ways in which students can conduct research, including:

Work witha Psychology faculty member in their ongoing research program, as a volunteer, for payment, or through enrollment in an Advanced Methodology course.

Design and run a research project as an Independent Study, under the supervision of a Psychology faculty member

Design and run a research project for your Senior Project. We strongly recommend this for out students who are interested in applying for graduate school
